I have seen a few Win98 machines before that would intermittently
fail to get domain validation. Rather than trying to solve the problem,
I walked around it, by telling the machine NOT to get domain validation,
and by placing this batch file into the Startup folder:
@echo off
\\YourPDC\Netlogon\YourNetlogon.bat
This will get you the usual drives mapped. The only thing you will
miss is central password administration: If the password changes
then you will have to change it manually on the domain controller
and on the Win98 machine.
